How is this different from Invisalign's ClinCheck simulation?

ClinCheck requires an intraoral scan submitted to the aligner lab and typically takes several days to come back as a staged, doctor-approved treatment plan. This preview generates from a single photo in seconds, right at the consult chair — it's built to win the case-acceptance conversation on that first visit, not to replace ClinCheck's clinical movement plan once the case is submitted.

Does the preview show staged tooth movement the way ClinCheck does?

No. It shows the projected final result, not a month-by-month movement sequence. Treatment staging, IPR mapping, and attachment placement still run through your aligner provider's clinical planning software once the case is actually submitted.

Can it correct for crowding, spacing, and rotation specifically, or just show generic straight teeth?

The AI adjusts for the misalignment pattern in the photo you capture — crowding, midline shift, gaps, or rotated teeth — rather than applying one generic straight-smile template. A patient with mild crowding and a patient with a diastema see two different, individually corrected results.

What about patients who might need extraction, significant IPR, or a referral to an orthodontist?

The preview shows a photorealistic outcome, not a diagnosis. Use it to open the case-acceptance conversation the way you already use intraoral photos — if the exam turns up a case that needs extraction, heavy IPR, or specialist referral, that clinical judgment happens exactly the way it does today.

How quickly does it generate at chairside?

Most previews complete in under 10 seconds. Capture the photo during the exam, generate the preview while you finish your clinical notes, and present the result before the patient stands up from the chair.

Can I use this to compete with mail-order aligner companies like SmileDirectClub or Byte?

Yes. Price is the objection those companies win on. A dentist-supervised, in-office preview gives you something on the screen to put next to that price difference instead of just arguing that supervision matters — the patient sees their own corrected smile, generated in your office, during your exam.

Are patient photos retained?

That's your call, not ours — it's your software. We build the storage and retention policy around what your practice needs and make sure it meets HIPAA and any other regulation that applies. No training on patient data, ever.

There's no off-the-shelf plan, so there's no published price list. Share your details and we'll discuss project scope and pricing on a free consultation call — see /pricing for details.

Show patients their straightened smile before Invisalign's ClinCheck even comes back

Capture a smile photo at the consult. Makeover generates a photorealistic straightening preview in under 10 seconds — the patient sees their own crowding or spacing corrected, not a ClinCheck screenshot from somebody else's case.

What is a teeth straightening preview?

A teeth straightening preview tool uses AI to generate a photorealistic image of a patient's smile after clear aligner or orthodontic correction. The dentist captures a frontal or retracted photo of the patient's current alignment, and the tool produces a side-by-side comparison showing crowding, spacing, or rotation corrected on the patient's own teeth. General and cosmetic dental practices use this chairside during the same consultation, before a scan is even submitted, to secure case acceptance while the patient is still in the chair.

Why it matters

Clear aligner therapy is one of the highest-value case types a general dentist presents — treatment plans typically run $3,000–$8,000 and commit the patient to 6–18 months of wear. The friction isn't whether the patient wants straighter teeth; it's that the only simulation tool in the room, ClinCheck, requires a scan submission and comes back from the lab days later as a staged plan the patient never sees during the visit. By the time it arrives, they've priced out a mail-order aligner kit or lost the urge to commit. A same-visit photo preview closes that gap before it opens.

Who uses this

General and cosmetic dentists dispensing Invisalign, ClearCorrect, or Spark aligners as part of restorative and cosmetic case plans — GPs write a large share of clear aligner cases industry-wide, not just orthodontists. Treatment coordinators use it to present the straightening phase alongside veneers or whitening in a full smile makeover sequence. Multi-location dental groups use it to standardize the aligner conversation across associates with varying case-presentation skill.

Heard this from a patient?

Patients like the idea of aligners but won't commit to 6–18 months of wear when they can't picture their own smile at the end — and the ClinCheck simulation won't be back from the lab for days, so they walk out to "think about it."

You pull up a ClinCheck screenshot from another patient's case. They say "my teeth don't look like that — I don't know what mine will actually do."

They're comparing your treatment plan to a $2,000 mail-order aligner kit and you have nothing on the screen to justify the price difference beyond telling them it's supervised.

How teeth straightening previews work

Three steps. Under 10 seconds. No design skills needed.

Capture the current smile

A frontal or retracted photo taken during the exam. No scanner, no impression, no ClinCheck submission needed to start the conversation.

AI generates the straightened preview

The model corrects crowding, spacing, or rotation on the patient's own teeth while preserving their natural tooth shape, gum line, and facial proportions.

Present before they leave the chair

Their own smile, aligned, on your tablet — while the ClinCheck submission is still sitting in the lab's queue. Case acceptance happens at the consult, not on a follow-up call.
